In , the final Head of the Order must be found and eliminated to free Baghdad, which turns out to be the former concubine of the Caliphate, Qabiha. Qabiha is a clever woman, and the Palace is well protected when Basim seeks to infiltrate it. Doing so without getting caught will be easier said than done, and once inside the Palace, it is quite challenging to leave it without being followed by every Guard in the vicinity.
In its return to the series roots, features protagonist Basim as a newly initiated Hidden One working his way up to become a Master Assassin. In the final mission, Basim convinces Rosham to let him kill Qabiha, as he wants to do his part in restoring Baghdad to a more prosperous city. He will have to think quickly and get into the Palace without attracting too much attention from the Guards.

To get inside, Basim can use Enkidu to find various infiltration opportunities. One of these opportunities involves therebels attempting to storm the Palace, similar to assassinating Al-Mardikhwar earlier in. However, even picking that option will mean Basim has to get inside the gate to let the rebels in as well. To the left of the gate the rebels are gathering in front of, there is a small hole in the wall that Basim can slip in, relatively unguarded. There will be a couple of Guards that Basim can easily lure into a patch of tall grass to assassinate.
Clearing the courtyard stealthily to lure guards into tall grass one by one will ensure the rebels can reach the next gate. That draws out the remaining Guards, and Basim should help the rebels take out the Guards if he wants to take advantage of their distraction again once inside. There are a couple of ways to get into the main area of the Palace from there.
Using Berserker Blowdarts is an excellent way to thin the number of guards in bigger groups if Basim can't take them out individually without getting seen.
If you have 's Merchant Tokens stored up, it will make it much easier to get in the doors. There is an Eunuch in a side courtyard that will glow orange if Basim uses hisEagle Sense, and talking to him and bribing him with a total of 4 Khidmah Merchant Tokens will convince him to give Basim the Master Key. But, if you don’t want to spend that coin, there is another way.
To get there, go past the Eunuch, unbar the rightmost door at the back of the room, and head into the back courtyard, with fewer guards. Make your way along the wall, and you will eventually come to a ladder. Climb up, and you will reach a balcony with a door Basim can walk through and a Key to the Library within reach.
From there, you must find Qabiha, which Basim can do immediately. Opening

is filled with puzzles for you to complete and one of the first you will discover is the Upper Harbor Gear Chest. There are a number of quests and puzzles for you to solve throughout your time in Baghdad and the surrounding districts including the Tales of Baghdad Quests.
Players of will soon realize that they will need crafting materials to upgrade their items in the game. These can be found in several different manners throughout the game, but players might not be able to find them consistently, particularly at the beginning of their journey. However, there are consistent methods of finding them, if players know where to look as they traverse the city of Baghdad.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the latest in Ubisoft’s blockbuster series, and a bit of a throwback to an earlier time for the series. Rather than a big overstuffed RPG, Mirage is more of a traditional action-adventure experience, and as such, some folks more used to recent games like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla may need to adjust slightly.
Basim's main weapon in is a sword, so it's important for him to wield one that looks good as he slices and dices through the guards of Baghdad. Unlike other recent titles, alternative weapons like axes or bow aren't present in the game, meaning that one sword or another will remain equipped throughout the entire game. None of the available blades in are entirely lacking in style, but some are more basic than others, making abandoning less glamorous options once others become available to Basim a good call.
A hallmark of any game in the series, Basim must eliminate targets throughout , one of those being Al-Mardikhwar. This target is one of the Order members at the end of the multiple Investigations that began at the Sharqiyah Bureau for the Hidden Ones in Baghdad. Finding and eliminating him will take some creativity from Basim, as well as help from the Rebels.
As you make your way through , playing as Basim, you will be tasked with eliminating several targets with the first major enemy being Al-Ghul.After infiltrating the Damascus Gate Prison early in your attention will turn to eliminating the first of five targets. With the game set in the desert, many of the locations that you will visit are settlements, and Caravanserai set just outside of Baghdad, is the one where you will find Al-Ghul.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is a return to the series' roots in a sense, bringing players to 9th Century Baghdad. But how does it stack up so far compared to the recent series entries? Here is our review in progress.
There are nine Wilderness Gear Chests scattered around the outskirts of Baghdad in . These chests contain the Hidden One Dagger and Hidden One Sword, as well as their respective Upgrade Schematics. The last three chests contain pieces for the Isu set. Each item from these chests is extremely powerful and boasts a compelling reason to acquire it, but it will be no walk in the park. All the Wilderness Gear Chests are hidden in restricted areas, making it difficult for any assassin to find them.
Daggers play a big role in , so picking the design with the best looks can have a surprisingly major impact on the game experience. Although each dagger has its own unique stats, it's possible to prioritize aesthetics thanks to a transmog system included in the game. Blacksmiths will change a weapon to have the look of another for the reasonable price of 50 dirham, so it's easy to pick a blade that has the perfect perk and make it look like one that offers a little more flair.
represents a concerted effort by developer Ubisoft to return this once immensely popular franchise back to its beloved roots. In spite of abandoning the controversial RPG-style gameplay of the past several entries in the franchise, maintains an impressive array of customization options — most significantly in the character aesthetic department. Though the latest installment in the series has a limited supply of unique outfits and costumes when compared with previous installments, the developer has evidently elected to value quality over quantity as the vast majority of 's apparel options are exceptionally well-designed — though, inevitably, some are so much better than others.
Looking for the Abbasid Knight Upgrade Schematics across Baghdad in is a perplexing challenge. However, it is completely worthwhile. When out of enemy sight, the Abbasid Knight Outfit slowly regenerates Basim's health, making it ideal for an assassin of his nature. The Abbasid Knight Sword and Dagger that come with the set are also worth picking up. However, the set isn't finished even if you have all the pieces. To properly complete the collection, you must find all the Abbasid Knight Upgrade Schematics scattered throughout the map.
